Russia has become more involved with the Middle East, sending in military forces to Syria, an action the United States has been refusing to take. The Russian force has met very little effect and many question if such a small force will affect anything in the country for the long run. However, while Russians are willing and calling for more troops, military conquest is not at the forefront of Russian action.
The article here suggests that the Russian action was made to undermine United States presence and control in the area. Russia and the U.S. have been historic enemies, and even after the fall of the Soviet Union the rivalry has not ended. In the new global age the two countries vie for control in Europe and the Middle East. This is Russia's next move, and though their future actions are not certain they will certainly be calculated toward one goal: undermining the United States of America.
The United States much react to this threat.
